Gameconnection and camera position


newaged

Recommended Posts

Posting here again because I haven't learned how to github yet.

I was going through some tutorials when an issue popped up. The camera position given by GameTSCtrl::OnMouseDown and %GameConnection.getCameraObject().GetPosition() were clearly different, and it was making the serverCmd provided by the tutorial behave oddly. I wasn't sure if that was intended or not, so I made a new method to use in its place.

DefineEngineMethod(GameConnection, getControlCameraPosition, Point3F, (), ,
"@brief Gets the true position of this GameConnection's camera.\n\n"

"@see GameConnection::getCameraObject()\n\n")
{
MatrixF transform;
if (!object->getControlCameraTransform(0.032f, &transform))
	return {0, 0, 0};
return transform.getPosition();
}

Stick that somewhere near the end of gameConnection.cpp. %GameConnection.getControlCameraPosition() will return the position of the camera the same way OnMouseDown would.
